Mark Cuban Inspiration Quotations

Sweat equity is the most valuable equity there is. Know your business and industry better than anyone else in the world. Love what you do or don't do it.

Every job I took was really me getting paid to learn about a new industry.

All that matters in business is that you get it right once. Then everyone can tell you how lucky you are.

In the past people used to tell me to shut up a bit. But what I believe is to put out your opinion and let everyone else react. If I'm wrong I'm wrong. People are afraid to put out their opinions and get push back.

The only thing any entrepreneur, salesperson or anyone in any position can control is their effort.

The thrill of victory in business blows away the thrill of victory in sports. Business is a sport 24/7/365.

If you're looking where everybody else is looking, you're looking in the wrong spot.

Most people think it's all about the idea. It's not. EVERYONE has ideas. The hard part is doing the homework to know if the idea could work in an industry, then doing the preparation to be able to execute on the idea.

It's not whether the glass is half empty or half full, it's who is pouring the water. The key in business and success at any endeavor is doing your best to control your destiny. You can't always do it, but you have to take every opportunity you can to be as prepared as-and ahead of-the competition as you possibly can be.

Find something you love to do. If you don't make money at it, at least you love going to work.

I'm always afraid of failing. It's great motivation to work harder.

There is only one thing in life you can control: Your own effort.

Once you have found out what you love to do, there is only one goal: to be the best in the world at it.

Every 'No' gets me closer to a 'Yes'.

Creating opportunities means looking where others are not.

When you've got 10,000 people trying to do the same thing, why would you want to be number 10,001?

Always wake up with a smile knowing that today you are going to have fun accomplishing what others are too afraid to do.
